Trichology

Cosmetology trichology is an interdisciplinary field focused on the assessment of scalp and hair condition, as well as planning supportive therapies for issues such as excessive hair shedding, dandruff, seborrhea, and scalp irritation. It integrates knowledge from dermatology, physiology, cosmetology, and specialized hair and scalp care.

This lesson introduces participants to the principles of proper trichological diagnostics, symptom interpretation, and identification of potential causes of scalp and hair disorders. The mechanisms behind the most common trichological conditions, different types of hair loss, and the fundamentals of planning care-based and treatment-supportive therapies are discussed.

The training includes theoretical content, video materials, practical step-by-step instructions, and a certificate of completion, preparing participants for conscious and safe trichological practice within a cosmetology clinic.
